PRESIDENT’S CORNER By Burdette Ahlstrom Once again I need to mention about putting your transmitters in the impound area when not in use. It is for your safety as well as the other people flying. We also want to remember when we are flying to stay at least 50 feet from the flying stations. I know sometimes we don’t always have our aircraft under control but we need to be more carful were we are flying. I have seen pictures of aircraft hitting people and it isn’t a pretty sight. I know that sometimes my aircraft isn’t under control, so it can happen to anyone. Please fly safe. Well our Fly-In breakfast is over and I think we had a great day. I know we served a lot of food! I would like to thank all the people who helped setting up for the breakfast on Saturday and helping on Sunday with everything. The newsletter is early this month so everyone will know about the picnic. I hope we will have a good turnout for that day. Don’t forget to come early and enjoy some flying.
